Your best and worst dressed at the MET Gala

We did this last year but I didn't see a thread, so here we go.

First off, this year was a bland, forgettable mess. I thought the MET was all about being different, wild, extravagant. It was really hard to even make a list because even the ones that I liked weren't amazing and even the ones I hated weren't (completely) awful.

But here we are anyway:

TOP 10 BEST

10. Hailey Baldwin

3FD3CCA800000578-4457030-image-m-26_1493

Not amazing, but it's pretty and classy and I love the head decoration. But truth be told, I needed one last top ten spot to fill and this is the best I could find.

9. Lupita N'yongo

3FD3FEF500000578-4457030-Bright_and_bold

Again, nothing that amazing, but she's still one of the first names I think of when I think of the best dressed. The colour suits her perfectly and makes her look radiant.

8. Gigi Hadid

3FD40A9D00000578-4457030-image-a-56_1493

This one grew on me. I thought it looked tacky at first but then I really started to like the message of "classy meets a tease of naughty sex appeal."

7. Nicki Minaj

3FD3D6EB00000578-4457030-Leggy_lady_Nick

She was on my worst dressed list last year, so this is some improvement! Finally, Nicki manages to look sexy rather than trashy and adds a splash of colour to her very monotone black dressing palate as of late.

6. Mandy Moore

3FD3B7F300000578-4457030-image-a-77_1493

Simple but so effective. Mandy looks like a regal queen and I love that super-long glove with a ring over the top, very Miss Moneypenny.

5. Halle Berry

3FD55FAC00000578-4457030-Golden_girl_Hal

I preferred the amazing train to the front, which was extremely risque with the see-through element on the crucial areas but she just about gets away with it. The black and gold combination is a winner.

4. Priyanka Chopra

3FD27E5600000578-4457030-image-a-124_149

Another one that grew on me. That massive train helped. She looks like a badass boss in an action movie if your average badass boss was female.

3. Madonna

3FD3FF0900000578-4457030-Spot_the_star_M

She was #2 on my worst dressed list last year, so she's come on leaps and bounds! This is basically the a copy of the Rebel Heart gown from 2015 but I liked that one and she similarly rocks this. It's actually quite a smart statement. She's literally glamourising war and violence! But as a statement against it!

2. Cara Delevigne

3FD3F84E00000578-4457030-image-a-104_149

I normally dislike the shaved head look on women but painting it? That changes everything. The suit is nothing I've never seen before but with the silver head, it creates an out of this world look that's so striking and mesmerising. No wonder Cara's one of the biggest models of the moment.

1. Zendaya

3FD4126400000578-4457030-Work_of_art_Zen

This one grew on me and grew on me and it became my favourite. I so rarely see this soft afro look, it's something else. And the vibrant colours of that dress just make the whole look pop. Repping for traditional African beauty and looking like a goddess doing it.

TOP 10 WORST

10. Elizabeth Banks

3FD27ACF00000578-4457030-image-m-36_1493

My eyes. My eyes. MY EYES. Was she in touch with the graphic designer on Gaga's The Cure lyric video? Not only was this dress an eyesore, it was nowhere near grand enough for the event.

9. Bella Hadid

3FD40C6300000578-4457030-What_a_Bella_Mi

Doesn't matter how hot you are, a transparent bodysuit with visible, scant underwear underneath is just gross. This stuff is called boudoir gear for a reason.

8. Jemima Kirke

3FD5624700000578-4457030-Jemima_Kirke-a-

Don't know if she was ill here but I'd sure look this sad if I was dressed in this sorry get-up. Looks like she tried to throw together a last-minute witch Halloween outfit on the bottom half and then thought: "Ahh...f**k it."

7. Lily Aldridge

3FD7E74C00000578-4457030-image-m-147_149

I laugh so hard when models think they can get away with silly looks because they're models and therefore think they look good in everything.

6. Katy Perry

3FD23CB300000578-4457030-Red_alert_Katy_

Oh, Katy. She just can't pull off high fashion and avant garde looks. This just isn't her. How she managed to co-chairperson this event is anyone's guess.

5. Kendall Jenner

3FD39F6800000578-4457030-image-a-20_1493

Another one who wants to flash the flesh at all costs, no matter what event it is. From a back angle, her entire thong was on show. The Kardashian's obsession with ass is reaching worrying levels.

4. Hailee Steinfeld

3FD3EA6400000578-4457030-Hailee_Steinfel

Oh, lordy, another one thinking they're being so sexy. Not only is this such a boring concept, but this is such a weird point for the dress to cut off, it makes her body look squashed-down and deformed.

3. Solange

3FD3F5ED00000578-4457030-Staying_afloat_

For the second year running, she's on the worst dressed. This is pretentious dressing at is second-best (the worst is #1). How she managed to sit comfortably without feeling like her dress was going to pop and risk any unfortunate squeaking noises is anyone's guess.

2. Donatella Versace (could only find a picture of her with Kylie)

3FD2922600000578-4457030-Dressed_by_the_

Acid brights on an older woman is never a good look. But adding in flourescent hair streaks? This woman needs to stop trying to look young and just embrace her age. I genuinely want to know if she thinks she looks good or if she thinks she went too far but wants to save face.

1. Helen Lasichanh

3FD232DB00000578-4457030-image-a-148_149

And this is pretentious dressing at its best. Is she meant to be a life-size vagina? Is she hiding her new triplets under there? How much did she get paid to wear this? So many questions, but the biggest is...WHY?!

Also, special shout-outs to Rihanna and that floral monstrosity, Emily Ratajowski and that cheap looking dress that looks like a kid dreamed it up, Karlie Kloss and that straight-from-work look, Brie Larson and that puke-coloured dress, Lena Dunham and that dress that did her figure no favours, the celebrity I can't remember who turned up in that comedy kilt costume and Anna Wintour for that same dress in the style she always wears. This woman is the editor of the most iconic fashion magazine in the world?!

I thought I would've seen more of your #1 worst at the Met Gala tbh. Your top 2 best dressed are great. I don't really understand Madonna's look as it comes off as very cheap. However, everything seemed so tame. Unless I just got the theme wrong..

The Met Gala kind of bothers me though. Gaga has been such a leader in pushing fashion and yet she has always been put down for it. And then we have these events where crazy and odd is exciting. :duck:

WHY? Because the theme of the Gala was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons. 

Helen Lasichanh and Rihanna both serving with 'on theme' looks.

Wtf? Madonna best dressed? I could literally go out and buy that outfit from Party City, it looks so cheap...

And no Rih??? This list makes the "worst lists" list :awkney:

Personally, i wouldn't include anyone who wasn't on theme in my best picks list. There were some gorgeous looks last night but they had nothing to do with a Gala interested in celebrating high fashion and costume design.

everyone else can just revaluate themselves....

Literally the only ones that respected the theme. @StrawberryBlond When you made the top did you even take in consideration what this year's MET was about? Because judging by your picks you didn't really.
